VMware Fusion 2 [OLD VERSION]
$79.99
I'm a recent convert to mac. I had only a couple of Windows apps that I wanted to continue to run (visual studio and army builder). This program was well worth its price. No more reboot to go to windows.

I doubt I'll ever go back to a PC.

Gillette Fusion Power Battery Powered Shaving System, 1 System
$13.45
Picked this up for less than $10 with free Gillette shaving gel. Decided to give it a try. What's to lose?
This offers a VERY close shave. It badly irritated my skin and made it feel very itchy. I used Van Der Hagen Premium Shave Set (Soap, Bowl, Brush).
The single blade for hard to reach places is handy design feature. The only flaw of this whole Gillette Fusion shaving system is that it is made entirely for one reason: Pure profit. Have a look at the price of the replacement blade cartridges. Anyone who actually uses this to shave daily is mad. The shaving cartridge gets clogged with hair and is no good after 1 or 2 shaves. That is a huge price to pay for doing a simple thing: shaving. I am going to do it the normal, or as most would consider "the old fashioned way" and purchase a double edge razor [Merkur Solingen Futur Adjustable Double Edge Safety Razor, made in Germany, chrome and gold finish also available] and see how it performs to all these shaving systems developed by Gillette and Schick of just more and more blades and more "aloe" strips that haven't worked quite well at all for their promises and simple purpose of shaving hair.

First of all,..."PHANTOM"? Really? Well, I can certainly ...empath it sitting in my trash bin. The only thing I fail to see is the what all the fuss was about.

Does it shave? Sure. Is it closer? Closer than what? Oh, you mean compared to those...ancient 2/3/4-blade ones? Well, not detectably. If it does shave any closer I for one could not tell. And no, the vibration adds to nothing detectable either besides a small humming noise.
And, what is worse, the new head is too big with only a small portion of its surface corresponding to the blades: one has very little control under his nose and chin. It will nick you if not careful.
Similar to digital camera manufacturers who are engaged in the "more-and-more megapixels" marketing war (only to end up with more and more...noise as no one seems to consider whether the lens can keep up or not), the "more-and-more blades" race has reached the point of ridiculous.

So closer it may or may not be, but less comfortable it surely is. I use to shave against the grain my cheeks and under my jawline. And apparently, all these blades and vibration and "comfort strips" make the experience not something to long for.

And, to add insult to injury, if you have any old Gillette blade cartridges knocking around in some drawer, forget about using them with this new holder. Contrary to the previous editions of Gillette blade holders that had retrograde compatibility, this baby will only take new (and more expensive) Gillette Fusion Power Blades.

Just like printer companies, that are eager to sell us their printers below cost - only to charge an arm and an leg for their inks and toners, the shaving blades oligopoly (after all the buyouts, all of ...two major companies remain to "compete") has turned our morning ritual into their mil-cow. Bells and whistles and over-the-top adds do not hide the fact that only some years ago, blade cartridges came in fives (not fours!) and cost less than half of what the new brightly colored and over-marketed new ones!

What is really ironic is that the single blade at the back is so much better than the overloaded front that I was reminded of why, years ago, I had taken the advice of my father and chosen the path of traditional blade holders.

I bought this for a conference trip and kept is as a backup until its blades run out. After about a month I went back to my trusted Safety Razor. Paired with a traditional Badger Hair Shaving Brush and a good Shaving Soap there is simply no comparison in both sensation and result.
